Kiara Advani denies bagging Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal 2

Rumours are rife in Bollywood that after the failure of his last directorial venture Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017), acclaimed filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is planning to helm a sequel to his 2008 hit Love Aaj Kal, which starred Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in leading parts.

News has it that Ali has finalized Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018) fame Kartik Aaryan to play the male lead in Love Aaj Kal 2. As far as the leading lady of the project is concerned, several names have been thrown around in the last couple of days.


Recently, a leading Indian daily reported that Kiara Advani has been locked for the part. However, when the actress came to know about these baseless stories doing the rounds, she had something different to say.

Taking to social media, Advani said, “One of the leading newspaper claims that I have been roped in for Imtiaz Sir’s next. While I wish the news was true, I’d like to clarify that it’s not. I have not been approached for this film.”

Well, we hope the actress’ clarification puts all baseless rumours to an end.

'Akka' review: Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte’s battle exposes an uncomfortable truth about power

Highlights

  • Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte lead Netflix's five-episode crime drama set in a fictional south Indian region ruled by an 800-year-old sisterhood.
  • The series explores whether women in positions of absolute power can avoid reproducing the oppressive systems traditionally associated with patriarchy.
  • Strong performances, sharp dialogue and stylised storytelling make Akka engaging, although its political ideas are not always fully explored.

What happens when women take control of a world traditionally dominated by men? Does changing the gender of those in power automatically create a fairer society? Netflix's Akka, led by Keerthy Suresh and Radhika Apte, explores these uncomfortable questions through a violent crime saga built around an 800-year-old sisterhood.

Set in the fictional south Indian region of Perunuru, the five-episode series follows a powerful matriarchal community that controls the criminal underworld and the lucrative gold and illicit liquor trades. While its premise offers an interesting reversal of conventional crime dramas, the story gradually reveals that replacing male rulers with women does not necessarily dismantle the systems of oppression they inherit.
